It is sometimes flaid that political platforms mean nothing, and that : they are made only to humbug cred ulons voters who may be innocent enough to believe that they do mean something, and mean what they say. The Republican platform (builders take it for granted that this kind of voters are in the majority, and build their platforms accordingly. We " hare a striking illustration of this in the platform adopted by the Ohio Republican convention Wednesday After paying tribute to the memory of the late President McKinley, it endorses the administration of Pres ident Roosevelt, congratulates the country on the great prosperity it enjoys, the high wages workmen re ceive, the high prices iarmers get, and the grand Buccess of the Ding ley tariff, which supplies so much revenue that the repeal of the war taxes was possible without' causing a jar or crippling the finances of the Government. As is customary witn - them they, of course, claim every thing that is worth claiming as the result of Republican rule and Re publican policies. After the pre liminary Belf-flattery and congratu latory talk, it proceeds thus: "Democratic success would threaten the destruction of the protective sys tem under which otur splendid prosper ity has come and the mere shadow im pending free trade would destroy con fidence, unsettle business, alarm indus trial interests and immediately check the demand for labor, t ; "We recognize the necessity of co ooeration in order to meet new condi tions in the industrial world and to compete -successfully for the world's markets; but all combinations that stifle competition, control prices, limit production or unduly increase profits or Tames ana especially wnen.iney raise the prices of the necessities or life, are opposed to public policy and should be repressed with a strong hand. "The Republican party is the only one that has dealt courageously and honestly with the trust question. It enacted, as early as 1890, a law framed by a distinguished statesman, John 8hermao, to prohibit and punish com binations in restraint of trade, tne con trol of wages, or the advancement of prices. This act, framed by a Repub lican statesman, passed by a Republi can uongress ana signea 07 a nepuc lican President, has proved helpful in Dreventine abuses by such combina tions, where such abuses were found to exist and is now being vigorously ap plied by a Republican administration in the prosecution of unlawful combi nations, subsequently to tne enact ment of this law the Democratic party obtained control of both branches of Congress and the presiden cy. It constantly asserted hostility to trusts, but failed to place upon the statute books a single line of legisla tion -which would aid in their con trol. "To secure for labor the considera tion it deserves, to uphold the dignity of toil; to create a healthy j public opinion on the subject of labor and the justice of its receiving a full share of the values It creates; to bind labor and capital together on common ground in the adjustment of such questions as may concern these two great factors in production, it is necessary that labor should be intelligently organized. We believe in fewer hours and larger re wards for labor, and for such laws as will harmonize the interests of labor and capital, and tend to lengthen the burden of toil." This is the same old regulation rot they has been giving us ever since the protective system was adopted, rot about protecting our industries with a view to their pros perity and expansion and to ensure good wages to the toilers. Demo cratic success, they say, threatens the destruction of this benificent system, when every one with two grains of sense knows that with the revenue this Government must have a tariff for revenue only, would give all the protection any of our indus tries should ask or expect. But this is a mere dodge put out to humbug the voter and to excuse themselves for ignoring the demands for tariff reduction, after - it has been fully demonstrated that some of our most highly protected industries need no protection at all and boast of their ability to manufacture their products in competition with the world. ' That Democratic success would be destructive of the protective sys tem as ; it isj exists now, j creat ing trusts71 And ' monopolies there is no doubt, -for the Democratic party does not believe in fostering monopolies, nor in taxing the many for the benefit of the few, nor in unnecessary taxation, which is sim ply legalized robbery. It doesn't believe in taxing the labor and in dustry of the ' people to pile bp a surplus in the treaaury. . The Re publicans would perpetuate this. protective system to give employ ment and high wages to workmen, when, as a matter of fact, workmen employed in the unprotected indus tries receive higher wages as a rule than those Employed in the pro tected industries. While they were uttering this kind of rot at Cleveland 145,000 miners in the anthracite mines of Pennsyl- vania were striking for better wages and fairer treatment. The anthra cite mines of Pennsylvania have tariff protection, not direct, because they have no anthracite, competitors, but1 indirect to keep out all coals that i might be used as substitutes for an thracite and thus force the anthra cite mine owners to come down in their prices. 'While they were col laring that rot there was a strike in progress in Chicago by the team stem of the Beef Trust, another protected combine. A year or so ago there was a Btrike against the Steel Trus another highly "protect ted combine. The fact is that nine-tenths of the strikes in the country aae in the protected indus tries, i If the protective tariff, is such a boon to the workmen how are all these strikes to be accounted for. The protected bosses seem to be profiting by it, but the workmen are not. ! The platform boasts that the prices of everything are higher than ever, that wages are higher than ever, and yet it is harder than ever for the wage-earner to support a family out of the wages he gets, which are but little, and these in exceptional cases, higher than they wera a couple years ago, while the cost of the ordinary neces saries of life is at least one-third more, and yet these platform-makers have the cheek to congratulate the toilers on their prosperity, on the good wages they receive, and to per suade them to perpetuate the system which robs them while falsely pre tending to benefit them, j . The trust plank is another apology for trusts, by supporting, while pre tending to condemn, by drawing a distinction which they did not mean between trusts and industrial co-operation for unquestionably legitimate objects, and claiming that to the Re publican party belongs the credit of the adoption of the first law to pre vent trusts, and suppress those that might be organised. How do they account for the fact that it took twelve years to discover that the Sherman anti-trust law could be invoked and that it had any life in it or that it wasn't invoked then nn til the Beef Trust had been so fully exposed that the Washington an thorities dare not remain inactive? But what is the use of pointing out the inconsistencies and the cheeky frauds of these j political fakirs who have humbugging re duced to a fine art? And yet we cannot help admiring their brazen cheek when extolling the virtues of their robber tariff and their suc cesses in the Philippine: war of criminal aggression, which they glory in with the same cheeky au dacity that they uphold their plun dering tariff system. BO HAHDICAPPnTG. The Democratic convention of Tennessee got into a tangle over the question of re-affirming the national Democratic platform of 1896, the ratification of which practically meant, if it meant anything, making the issues of 1896 the issues of 1904. There is no sense in that, especially when it would divide the Democratic party on what have ceased to be, for the present at least, issues, while there are issues enough on which we are united and on which the Republicans are divided. j . Whatever we may think about it the silver question, as an issue, has lost its interest with the masses of the people. Yon could no more make that a rallying cry than yon could make prohibition in Mainefa national issue. In the campaign of 1900, while the platform of 1896 had been re-affirmed, the silver question was subordinated by Mr. Bryan him self to the question of imperialism on which he, laid the most stress in his campaign speeches. Why then bring the silver issue into promi nence now, when it would fail to arouse enthusiasm and divide Demo crats, when there are live issues in which every American is interested and on which Democrats are united and in which they might have the support of not only many independ ent voters, but of many Republicans who are dissatisfied with the man agement of their party leaders?. There is enough to fight on in the tariff, the trusts, the extravagance of the Republican -Congress and in the bungling management of the Philippine question ' without handi capping ourselves with issues in which the people have lost interest INDICATIONS OF; TROUBLE. There has already been some vio lence in the anthracite regions, where the strike is now on, and it would be too much to expect that the con ditions should continue peaceful if the strike be as lengthy as the indi cations point to. The mine opera tors have been making application for strong bodies of guards, which in some instances 1ve been fur nished, showing that, they anticipate trouble and are preparing for it. In the event of trouble it will not be the mine owners who will suffer, but the miners and the guards' who protect the property of the mine owners from the strikers. Perhaps if the mine owners had to take the chances and run the risks of bodily harm, as the men have who are sent - to guard . their . property, they might be in a more com promising and conciliatory mood and be more disposed to listen to the demands of the miners and con sider the inconvenience and suffer ing caused by a shortage in the -coal supply which affects not only the industries that use coal but also the people who use it as fuel. : This is not a matter in which the mine operators and the miners only are interested, but one in which the people at large are very much interested, a : fact which" ought to be considered by both' mine , opera tors and strikers. V : It the State be required to fur nish constabulary and " soldierB to protect the property supposed to be in danger then there ought to be nower somewhere to prevent these strikes, which are often the result of obstinacy on both sides. In this case it seems to be the obstinacy the mine operators. ' of A recently deceased citizen of Kansas town is warmly remembered as a publio benefactor.

How Rax Toirnsliip Got Ita Go4 I Gravel Roada. Probably Ray township, in Macomb county, Mich., has the best gravel roads of any township In that state, says H. 8. Earle ip Good Roads Maga zine. This Is the result of the efforts of Gil R. Lovejoy, who Is such a strong advocate of good roads that he wouldn't be contented until the highways were what they should be. Mr. Lovejoy prevailed upon the board to buy a gravel pit; then he urged ev- ry farmer to haul a load of gravel home every time be passed the pit and put; it on the road in front, of his own rarm. . Once begun, the fanners saw what an improvement gravel ia over the an nual scraped back, wornout earth. Tha board then purchased two more pita In different parts of the township and, at the suggestion of Mr. Lovejoy, offered $1 a day to farmers with teams to haul gravel in the winter and place it on one side of the road one winter and on the other side the next. The first winter the farmers turned out strong, and the town had to pay for 2,700 days wprk, which was a big starter. Each year for several years the town ship has made an appropriation of from $1,000 to 11,800, and today practically all of the roads of the township are graveled, This is a cheap but a sure .way to get better highways, not, of course,, equal to those scientifically built by the nse of road machines, but a big improve ment over scraping the dust and mud from the ditches Into the roadway ev- ery-year. j Webster and the Clock.

In that country there !b no such diversity Between the mate Mai progress of the farmer and that of the merchant, between the country and the town, as is found In this country, says Isaac B. Potter In The Gospel of Good Roads. The farmers prosper and have always prospered. Every dollar spent by the French government to bring Itself more closely in touch with its rural population has been welt in vested. ; - ; I Of course these roads of France are not built by farmers who "work out? their highway taxes after the manner followed In this country, nor are they repaired by the use of plows, hoes or scrapers, like those which are brought into use at the annual farmers' picnic which takes place when you go out to "work the' road" in your township. On tbe contrary, they are built and kept up under, a system which is perhaps the most perfect in the world. There Is an official in chief who. takes charge of all the main roads of the republic and requires from his subordinates complete reports at frequent Intervals. In this manner information Is always at hand showing tbe condition of the roads In all parts of the country. Of course the work is divided into differ ent sections, which in turn are In -charge, of subordinate engineers, or su perintendents. Broken . stone Is . fur- COUNTRY BO AD E FBANCI. nisbed by contract, and, considering the amount of labor accomplished each year1 on the French roads, the cost is surprisingly small. The roads of our own states, at least the important state roads, should be maintained in the same way. In Belgium also the principal roads are built and maintained by the gen eral government, and in 1880 in the nine provinces of Belgium over 79 per cent of the highroads were of this class, the entire length of high class reads being 4,173 English miles out of a total of 6,286 of roads of all classes. The best roads of Belgium are in the provinces of Namur, Liege and Lux embourg, and permanent employees are kept on the roads under the direc tion of the chief engineer of the prov ince for the purpose of insuring the observance of the regulations and look ing after the constant repair of the highways. In Baden the main roads are under the supervision of the state authors ties and are cared for. with a studious regard for the j requirements of the farmer and inland travel. Under the law relating to roads In Baden the duty of maintaining the road falls as follows: . One-quarter each upon the town and county in which the road Is situated, the remaining one-half upon the state treasury. In Italy the minister of public works Is at tne head of the department of public works, j The construction of these roads Is In most cases under taken by contracts, tbe work being- carried on under direction of govern ment engineers. ! The government road laborers are called "cantoniriers" and are selected with great care, special reference being bad to character and honesty. They must be of robust con stitution and must be able to read and write. Bach one af these cpntonniers is provided with a full set of tools and Implements specified by law. His hours of work are from sunrise to sunset, and each day he Is obliged to go over the entire track of road placed in his charge. lie must be constantly upon the line of his work in all kinds of weather and In ( case of necessity is bound to work on public holidays. His chief duties are the leveling and repair of the highways, the removal of snow, mud, dust, etc. ue must assist travel ers in distress and vehicles disabled by accident or by weather, and for any neglect of duty be may be fined, sus pended or dismissed, according to the degree of the offense.. The fines accumulated during the year are divided among the deserving contonnlers or given to one of the mu tual benefit association of which they are members. Cantonuiers who serve with credit antj distinction for three or more years are promoted and given an Increase of monthly wages, in the five years from 1873 to 1878 Italy spent about .$16,000,000 on her roads, al though before that appropriation was made many , xcellent highways existed In all parts of the kingdom. In 1881 Italy constructed about 120 miles of new road aid bad then about 11,040 miles in course of construction. In the Neuerlanda, as In the coun tries already .mentioned, the principal roads are maintained at tbe expense of the state. . What an finch" of Rain Means.
